A Florida federal judge ruled in favor of a female passenger who was sexually assaulted during a 2018 cruise onboard Carnival Miracle. She was already awarded $10.2 million in damages in 2022. Still, she will receive another $2 million because Carnival Cruise Line appealed the verdict multiple times and unnecessarily extended the process by another two years. The company was also ordered to pay her $243,000 for psychological and medical expenses.
